Tender-crisp, asparagus is so delicious when it’s cooked on the grill. Add a sprinkle of parm and a squeeze of lemon for the perfect side dish.
Ingredients for Grilled Asparagus
Asparagus – Choose stalks that are about the same width so they cook easily. For best results, use thicker stalks to get solid grill marks. Oil – Use any variety of oil in this recipe. Bump up the flavor with leftover bacon grease. Lemon – Lemon is optional but adds a fresh citrusy flavor. Cheese – Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will adhere better to the stalks (use a microplane if you have one). You can swap it for crumbled feta cheese if you’d like.
Variations
Add a few shakes of garlic powder or red pepper flakes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley. Chopped toasted almonds or pine nuts are a great garnish.

Holly’s Tips
Keep an eye on asparagus as it cooks fast. Leftover grilled asparagus should be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat under the broiler with a little extra parmesan cheese to re-crisp it. Add leftovers to a grilled vegetable salad, an omelet, or a creamy asparagus soup, or have them sauteed with mushrooms.
